Summary: Incredible Fantasy/Fiction!
Review: "Voyage of the Basset" is a wonderfully, beautifully illustrated masterpiece that has displaced my all time favorite book from childhood. Any true lover of mythology, fantasy, folklore, faerie tales and the like will simply adore it. This is not just a 'children's' book- no, there are so many different levels that the author plays on that I find this book to be an amusing & amazing must have! I've sent it to several friends already, and given it to my Godson, nieces, and nephews to enjoy in the years to come. A wonderful book!

Summary: ::mumbles something about stupid 5-star limit::
Review: dang. I dunno what else to say about this book. This is the most amazing, beautiful thing I've ever read. The book was written for children, but it is certainly something anyone can appreciate. It has a simple, charming, beautiful story, illustrated with some of the most amazing artwork I've seen in a book. A 1800's professor wishes to prove to his colleagues that mythology and imaginary things are important. So he and his two daughters set off for this fantasy land aboard the ship "Basset" who's motto is "Credendo Vives" by believing, one sees. As the story unfolds, the reader learns an unforgettable lesson about faith.
